Condition Rating
Excellent

Despite being built in 1964, this property has clearly undergone an extensive and high-quality renovation, likely within the last 5 years. The kitchen is a standout feature, boasting modern flat-panel cabinetry, butcher block countertops, a stylish brass backsplash, and contemporary stainless steel appliances, including a wine fridge. The flooring, a mix of polished concrete and warm hardwood, is modern and in excellent condition. All visible light fixtures are updated and stylish. While detailed bathroom images are not provided, the overall cohesive and updated aesthetic, along with the description of a 'personal wellness retreat' in the primary suite, strongly suggests that all major components meet current quality standards with no deferred maintenance.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Unique Design & Ambiance: This midcentury-inspired retreat features a rare baobab tree in the courtyard and a dramatic stone fireplace anchoring the open-concept living space, creating a sophisticated, soulful, and serene atmosphere.
Exceptional Outdoor Living: The property boasts a sunlit backyard with a sparkling pool, shaded lounge areas, and mature landscaping, offering a tranquil outdoor oasis, with direct access from the primary suite.
Thoughtful & Functional Layout: Designed with an open-concept living space, a custom kitchen that flows effortlessly, a dedicated north wing for guests or work-from-home, and a private primary suite wing with its own secluded courtyard.
Generous Lot Size & Privacy: Situated on a generous 9,352 square foot lot, the property offers ample outdoor space and a true sense of privacy, enhancing its appeal in a dense urban environment.
Expansion Potential: The property offers a unique opportunity to be purchased in conjunction with the adjacent residence at 2220 Banyan Drive, allowing for a larger, combined estate.

Cons

Age of Construction: Built in 1964, while aesthetically 'midcentury-inspired,' the property's underlying infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) may be original or require updates not explicitly mentioned in the description.
Absence of Mentioned Cooling System: The property description does not specify the presence of an air conditioning or cooling system, which could be a significant consideration for comfort during warmer months in Los Angeles.
Limited Bathroom Count: With 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms for a 2,700 square foot home, some prospective buyers in this luxury market might desire a higher ratio of full bathrooms, particularly for a property designed for guests.
